Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to transnational research of teacher professionalism using the structural theory approach as well as the theory of symbolic interaction. After a problem outline and the statement of overall questions, the concept of ‘professional antinomies’ of teacher actions as a sensitizing concept based on the theoretical approaches mentioned is introduced. A research study on professional perceptions of vocational education teachers in the PR China will then be outlined and used as a research example to show how a transnational research design on teacher professional-ism can be put into practice. Results and experiences made during the research process will then form the basis for discussion to conclude the paper.
